Outflanked by liberals, Oregon conservatives aim to become part of Idaho

Meh...just your opinion.

No it’s not an opinion it’s how things work. You’re really out of your depth. Go watch MASH reruns you’ve got lights out in 3 hours old man.

Why would they? Why would they give up resources for a bunch of snowflakes? They can move to Idaho if they want to live under Idaho law.

But lefties are arguing that the area is a drain on Oregon and then here you are talking about resources. Which is it?

Why resist the move then?

Do you think the cost of this is worth it to the taxpayers?

They do take from the west but it’s still full of state parks and all kinds of beautiful things. As well as at least one state college. A lot of states have a portion of the state subsidizing the rest, that’s the way it goes. You should just sit this one out, Donny, you’re out of your depth

I doubt they'll find much success but I do think it's nice that their plans are at least peaceful and don't seem to have the charged civil war rhetoric.

The state politics in Idaho are truly insane, and seems to be a reflection of the anxiety some feel about the eventual prospect of losing power.

Bunch of takers. Every time we go to Bend we just get a vibe the locals resent the visitors from west of the Cascades with money. It's still a possibility for retirement, though. Hopefully all the Trump / Pence 2020 signs with the Pence slashed through by red paint are down by the time we retire.

I actually had great experiences there, never felt unwanted. All the towns along the way like Sweet Home and Sisters, I kind of felt that.

Guess I just don't get how renaming Army bases from Confederate traitors is a waste of taxpayer money but butthurt Oregon Republicans wanting to be part of a new state is a supported use of tax dollars

Defense Secretary Austin orders renaming of military bases with Confederate ties - will cost 62.5 million.

According to the commission’s report, Fort Benning will be named Fort Moore; Fort Polk will be renamed Fort Johnson; Fort Bragg will become Fort Liberty; Fort Gordon will become Fort Eisenhower; Fort Hood will become Fort Cavazos; Fort Lee will become Fort Gregg-Adams; Fort Pickett will become...
